[Opensim-dev] INI files modularity

[Michel Beauregard]

Hello

.... I would love to see these documented in a separate INI file

There is nothing preventing that now ....

I believe INI files to be modular . All one need to do is slip in an include command  in the gridCommun.ini with the name of the file saved in the config_includes directory and then edit that file appropriately with the specifics required. In my case I use quit a few one after the other among which a olsSript.ini to address Xengine customization.

As I understand the opensim configuration routine overide the configuration data with the last information available in the chain of INI files. Diva use this method with myWorld.ini configuration INI. 

I  don't edit directly the gridCommun.ini except to add an include line. I use a customization file for  the simulator information.  This file includes (gimisa.ini)  the MySQL settings and point to oslScript.ini for additional Xengine section  with  OSL function  allowing  them with ESTATE_ or PARCEL_ options.  

What this email try to highlight  is that there is nothing preventing any interested party to publish their own version of INI files  .. including working example ....of  these  documented in a separate INI file  as might deem to be useful. 

If you interested in mine please don't hesitate to point your viewer to  3d.gimisa.ca:9000
Hope it help.
